Also, I think you have been reading the thread here about the heavy duty folding knife.

I think the Bohler M390 might be worth a try.

If I recall, Elmax is similar to 154. [I remember an exchange I had with Bob Loveless when he had first started using 154CM. He treated it like a trade secret--if he were alive today, he would have several "better" selections to be secretive about!]
